The Cyber ​​Unit of the Detective Police of Bangladesh said that at least 30 such complaints have been filed in the last one month. Fraudsters usually trap the user through an SMS or advertisement.

Pinki, a middle-aged woman, downloaded an app called ‘NB’ after seeing an ad online. She said her phone froze right after she installed the app and then turned completely black.
He received many messages saying that a large amount of money had been transferred from his account one by one.
Soumya Kanti Das works for a private company. He was a victim of the same trick. He wanted to check things by using the Sky Banking app. But after he logged in, the phone screen went black and said ‘system updating’ in 30 seconds. He couldn’t press any buttons. Soon after, he got two messages: one for an ‘OTP’ and another to send 3 lakh taka to a different account.
He realized that this was not a system update, but that the phone had been remotely controlled by malware.
Syed Harun Or Rashid, Joint Police Commissioner of DMP’s Cyber ​​Unit, said that hackers are transferring money as if they were the user by taking control of the phone through hacking. Investigation shows that the money is going through various banking channels in the country and going to other accounts, many of which are controlled by fraudulent groups. In some cases, it is believed that these activities are being carried out outside the country, especially from China.
Cyber expert said many fake apps are out there. So, anyone shouldn’t download apps from any place except the official Play Store or App Store. It’s especially important to avoid free apps or games if you use banking or financial apps.
They said one should not click on unknown links or tempting deals without checking them first. They also mentioned that if you do this by accident, you should quickly turn off your internet.
